1 Safespace Design Pack - Home Safespaces change lives. That s what families and professionals tell us about our products. We hope we can help you find the solution you are looking for. This form is designed to help us collect the information we need about the person who will use the Safespace and the room where it will be installed. We will use this information to send you a plan of your Safespace with a quote. If you have any questions about completing the form please contact us on as we are happy to help, or we can complete the form together over the phone. Five steps to getting a design for your Safespace: 1. Complete details about the needs of the person who will use the Safespace 2. Select the design options you need we can advise you about these 3. Choose your colour scheme people tell us light blue is the most calming colour 4. Provide details of height of the room where the Safespace will be sited 5. Draw a plan with the dimensions of the room and anything which protrudes such as radiators etc. We need all measurements requested on the form to ensure that we design your Safespace so that the person using it cannot come into contact with any hard surfaces and that the appropriate gap around it is maintained. Please indicate on the plan if there is any furniture (with dimensions) that needs to remain in the room after the Safespace is installed. It is helpful to send us photographs if the room has any complex features, such as built in cupboards or a chimney breast or a sloping ceiling. Please post or the completed form to: Safespaces (Cornholme) Ltd, 361 Burnley Road, Todmorden, Lancs, OL14 7DH info@safespaces.co.uk Tel:

Standard Door with Porthole 2) Safespace Window Options On opening windows the zip pullers are on the inside of the Safespace and may need to be secured. Non opening windows have no zip.

3 Safespace Design Options 1) Safespace Door Options Choose a Safespace door with (26cms diameter) porthole, or larger (79cms x 58cms) viewing panel. Doors come with twin zip pullers on the outside of the door with the flat backs of the pullers visible on the inside. Contact us to discuss other options if required. Standard Door with Porthole 2) Safespace Window Options On opening windows the zip pullers are on the inside of the Safespace and may need to be secured. Non opening windows have no zip. This would allow the carer to access the room window through the Safespace. Call us if you aren t sure which is the best option to choose. Roll up wall 3) White Wall for Image Projection A white wall is an excellent background on which to project images. We also supply projector kits & sensory lighting as accessories. 4) Roll-up Wall White wall This opens up the side of the Safespace and is useful if you need to access fitted wardrobes through the Safespace. Please note that the zip pullers will be on the inside unless requested otherwise. Wall seam 5) Water resistant seams For those with continence issues, we can offer water resistant treatment on the seams where the floor and wall meet - select floor, or also on vertical wall seams if continence is a significant issue - select floor and wall. 6) Safespaces PVC covered mattress/lycra covered Memory foam mattress Floor seam Our robust, waterproof, PVC mattress is designed to fit snugly into the mitred bite resistant corners of the Safespace. The memory foam mattress can have a Lycra cover to give the full benefit of the memory foam, or a PVC cover if the user is inclined to bite. (183cm x 91cm x 20cm) or custom size if required. 3

4 7) Tube holes The standard diameter is 2.5cms to accommodate most gastronomy or oxygen tubes. Custom sizes are available but should be kept to a minimum for safety. 8) Removable Window Blinds Window blinds can be attached with Velcro on the outside of the Safespace so that the carer has control of their use. They are useful to darken the Safespace room or to create a low stimulation environment instantly. 9) Visual Deterrent Panels A 25cm space is required between the Safespace walls and any hard surfaces such as walls or a radiator. Visual deterrent panels conceal this gap and are recommended for those who have the ability/inclination to enter the gap around the Safespace. They extend from the corners of the Safespace and are fixed to the wall of the room. They are designed as a visual deterrent only and are not a substitute for supervision. 10) Floor /Wall Fixing brackets If the floor surface is slippery, such as laminate or any non-carpeted surface, we would recommend that the Safespace is fixed to the floor. Where this is not possible due to e.g. underfloor heating, then wall fixing brackets may be required. Floor /wall fixing is recommended on all floor surfaces where the person using the Safespace is very active. Visual Deterrent Panels 4
